Mickey Guyton Shares How Her Son Grayson Inspired Her to Use Her Voice in the Industry (Exclusive)
Mickey Guyton has her 1-year-old son, Grayson, to credit for her desire to speak out against disparities in the country music industry.“The reason why I even started using my voice was I did see such disparities in my particular industry against women and women of color,” the 39-year-old country singer told ET. “And then once I became pregnant, it was like, how could I not say something? Like, I don’t want my son when he grows up to look back and know that I said nothing. He's been a huge motivation for that. I realize, no matter what career you have, you can’t enjoy it if you see people struggling.” She continued, “It will never be OK for me and that’s something where I can sleep at night knowing that I’m seeing so many incredible artists of color coming up in this industry.
